The Plaza Mayor de Lima, central to Peru’s capital, was key in the independence process (1742–1826). As the heart of colonial and republican power, it hosted declarations, uprisings, and celebrations marking the shift from Spanish rule to sovereignty. Its architecture and layout reflect its historical importance, serving as a backdrop to Peru’s evolving identity, where political and social changes unfolded.
